Checking in at 132 Days Sober my cold is officially over it’s a trip while being sick I worked twice as hard and today (Friday) people have taking notice management, supervisors and workers all day getting mad compliments and that’s cool I’ve been at my new job since February 19th and being a sanitation/clean up worker is not easy but I dig it they always ask me if I want to work the weekend and I always say yes. Being sober/clean we are at our best right now we are capable of anything so let’s get it! I want to wish everyone a great weekend. Peace, Take Care and Stay Safe. One!

Morning all! It’s beautiful weather here, and just reached my 90 days! 
Haven’t been on here as much last month or so, generally as I’ve been doing well. Whilst it is all going well, I must admit the sunny weather is a bit of a trigger. I hope you all are well! 
Will check in again soon.

Day 613
Busy Saturday - jog in morning, cleaning, took son to appointment, homework with kids, took kids to pool. Husband at work and then went to his parents’ house to do rehabilitation for his mum, so he will be tired, and potentionally testy, when he gets back. A bit chilly tonight, so going to make some tea and read or websurf.

Congratulations that’s a awesome achievement! Keep it up! The weather is also very nice here! Try to enjoy it, if you can. If it triggers too much, try to find a distraction. You can do it, I believe in you! Good luck!
That sounds fantastic. a day at the time. And you make the most of that day when I hear it like that. The weather is great for walking. And as for the job, you can do it. You won’t know until you’ve tried it. With the right motivation, anything is possible. And it will look great on your resume. Go for it. But for now enjoy today and Easter. Fijn weekend!

I am right here with you Jess- I hate my job. The only thing I look forward to is the paycheck it provides. I’ve been looking for a year. But, through my faith and God’s mercy, I believe that I’ll have a new job within 100 days. I feel it! I’m aggressively working with recruiters and doing everything I can. I also have to give up control and trust God that an open door will come my way. I know what you are feeling. Here to support. Let’s make a promise to each other that we’ll get through this

Checking in at 227 days clean. I had a wonderful, long sleep. I have been working since April 1, after 1.5 years of not doing anything. I still find the morning shifts difficult, especially when I have 4 in a row. My alarm goes off at 5 and every time I think, lie down for a few more minutes and then wake up 45 minutes later and have to drink coffee and have breakfast in my car😂
I’m going to dye my hair in a moment because I have to look radiant tomorrow because tomorrow at Easter my 15 year old son will come to my house for the 1st time. So exciting! He lives in foster care and everyone sees that I’m doing so well so they decided it’s good that my son can come to my home. I come to my son’s house every month but he has never been to my home. Did too much shopping yesterday, I’m going to make his favorite food and thought I’ll bring some tasty snacks. However, I ended up with a crowded shopping cart at the checkout shocked at the price but hey everything for that one day! It must be perfect!
Furthermore, I have to say that I am so happy with this app and grateful for all the great advice I get and the stories I can read from you all. I’ve had the app for much longer but only to keep track of how long I was clean. Then I wanted to change my background and discovered a whole forum, holy shit! Glad I discovered it, it does a lot for my recovery! Thanks everyone!

Checking in - Day 33
Happy to have the day off! Took my sweetheart and pup to Starbucks for a coffee. Going to do a couple errands, but nothing too exciting. A little anxious thinking about work…Ugh. I won’t let my anxiety get the best of me today. So, no plans… having nothing to do is a trigger, but I know what to do if the desire to drink arises. I don’t feel like going to my Saturday morning meeting. It has too many people.

Checking in on day 157 sober from alcohol and nicotine… Spending the weekend in Frankenmuth MI with my husband and children, an Easter weekend tradition of ours for years… Of course there was always heavy drinking tied in with this weekend, last year was particularly bad… Tried fighting a group of guys in our hotel’s pool area cause in my deranged drunk mind I thought they were pedo’s trying to hit on my young daughter, was close to black out drunk and decided to sneak out and drive to the store for cigarettes and took out some rope barricades in the parking lot, scared my husband and kids to death, etc. Lucky my stupid ass didn’t hurt myself or anyone else. When we first got here the cravings hit me hard, despite my months of sobriety and not having much desire to drink at all. Just thinking of my behavior from last year makes me cringe so hard and keeps me from wanting to touch the stuff. The weekend may not be as “fun” as years past, but I’ll be calm and aware, and here for my kids! Thanks for reading.
